A man trying to steer his DJI robot vacuum with a PlayStation gamepad gained audio and video into 7K homes. Now DJI awards $30K for research, perhaps that research.

    So the accidental hacking is the scary part? Not the fact DJI has 7K live feeds into peoples homes?

      In case you weren’t joking, there’s an excellent project called valetudo that allows you to neuter the phone-home capabilities of supported models of these dodgy chinese spyware machines that happen to also clean your house, with very decent home assistant compatibility.

      If you’re buying a 1k+ $£€ robot, make sure you really own it properly and hack it.
